Insurance for forestry woodcutter

[Donnie]

Recently started as a cutter in the woods and was wondering who people are using for life/injury insurance. 
And how much should I be expecting to pay? I've a fair size mortgage and family so it'd be good to have that piece of mind

Surely your "mort-gage" pays up iffen you die before it is paid off?

What more does your wife need?

Dont mean to sound harsh.

It definitely doesn't just get paid off

I wonder if this was dropped as a result of the various mis selling of financial services because it always seemed part of the mortgage deals. It was part of mine and I also had £50k simple life insurance until the youngest was 18. Accident, injury or loss of income had too many get outs apart from being expensive so I did without. My eldest daughter had to bail me out for a few weeks after I crushed my pelvis and femoral nerve.

You are referring to the great PPI (payment protection insurance) scandal.

Yes but in my case I considered it prudent to pay for it in view of my trade being one with amongst the highest accidental death rates.
